Arkansas Interstate Highway Question

[Ratsy]

I know that some of you guys make your living by driving long-haul trucks.

I am currently on a pleasure trip from Texas through Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and then home.  I'm in Louisvillie today.

Two days ago a strange thing happened.  I crossed the border from Texas into Arkansas and the normal free-for-all road combat in Texas turned into an orderly, cooperative, team oriented, goal directed flow of traffic that I remember from the 60's.

This is a serious question.  What is happening on the interstate in Arkansas?

Not sure about Arkansas but when you hit Mississippi it's easy sailing down 55 just watch out for the HP they are bad . I have had them pull me over walk up to the car and turn around and leave , what's up with that , lol .

Probably got a much more important call than your speeding/seatbelt/tail light violation.

In Georgia, Atlanta is like another world.  Outside of Atlanta area , cool heads prevail with smiles and friendly waves.  Inside Atlanta it is each to on with the three finger  permeates the highway as the city's bird.

birds fly upside down over Arkansas.  Just sayin.

Seeing that you're in Arkansas, I hope to the almighty that you avoid Fort Smith as much as possible. Drivers there are pure garbage.

I avoid Fort Smith for more reasons than the drivers.

The birds don't know what they are missing Dichotomoy.

Duck season is right around the corner so we are all in a good mood.

I've seen the same thing in other states.

You see it when driving from Maine down to Mass. The 16 mile stretch through NH is mixed.

Hardly any yankees in Arkansas.

Arkansas is lucky then. The mentality of NH and Maine folks is closer to southerners/Midwest folks.

I'm sure Ink can attest to this.

Central and west Mass folks are ok, go east of Worcester, forget it...we call them mass-holes

Broad brush strokes, but generally true with regards to driving habits.

I tried driving in Miami once.
